Military Daddies’ Nanny (Lucky Women’s Daddies Reverse Harem #1)

Chapter 26

Nancy

My heart pounds as I hear Drew's words from the other room. I've been hiding in the bedroom, not wanting him to see me like this—swollen face, sweaty, and the beginning of a baby bump showing.

For weeks, I've been torn between missing him desperately and being angry at how easily he seemed to cast me aside. The pregnancy hormones certainly haven't helped my emotional state.

Nathan pokes his head into the room. "Nancy, Drew's here. He wants to talk to you."

I inhale sharply and look out the slightly open door.

“It’s all right if you don’t wish to speak to him. We’ll do whatever you want, even if that means sending him home.”

I smile in spite myself. I overheard part of what Drew said, and I must admit that his words tugged at my heartstrings. I have also missed him a lot, although I have tried not to show it.

Still, it doesn’t stop the hurt I feel, knowing that he was willing to give me up. How can I be certain that he will not be willing to do so again?

“ Nancy?”

I look up at Nathan who’s staring at me intently. His eyes hold a bit of worry. I hate having to put him in this situation. Having to choose between his brother and I. I sigh and nod taking a deep breath. "Okay, I'll be out in a minute."

A huge part of me wars against my decision to speak with Drew but I know that I will regret it if I don’t. Plus, I have to do it for Nathan and Carlos as well, and for the baby in my womb that might be his.

As I hear the murmur of voices from the living room, I smooth my hands over my loose shirt, trying in vain to hide my growing belly. It's futile, of course. At four months pregnant, there's no hiding it anymore.

Steeling myself, I step out of the bedroom. The conversation in the living room stops abruptly. Drew's eyes find mine immediately, and the intensity of his gaze makes me catch my breath.

He looks terrible—dark circles under his eyes, his usually neat hair disheveled. But even like this, he's still the most handsome man I've ever seen.

"Nancy," he breathes, taking a step toward me before stopping short. His eyes roam over me, widening as they take in my appearance. "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

I shake my head, not trusting my voice just yet. Carlos and Nathan stand off to the side, their faces unreadable.

Drew's brow furrows with concern. "You look...different. Your face is swollen. What's going on?"

I clear my throat. "I'm fine, Drew. What did you want to say to me?"

He blinks, momentarily thrown off by my deflection. Then his expression softens, and he takes another step closer. "Nancy, I...I've been such a fool. These past weeks without you have been hell. I thought I was doing the right thing, trying to give my kids a 'normal' family. But I was wrong. So wrong."

My heart clenches at his words, but I force myself to remain calm. "Go on," I say softly.

Drew runs a hand through his hair, a gesture I've come to know means he's nervous. "I miss you. God, I miss you so much it hurts. The kids miss you. Even the house feels empty without you in it." He takes a shaky breath. "I love you, Nancy. I'm in love with you. I think I have been for a long time, but I was too scared to admit it."

Tears prick at the corners of my eyes, but I blink them back. "That’s why you let things end when Karen came back?”

He shakes his head. "It was a mistake. She left again, but honestly, even if she hadn't...it wouldn't have mattered. You're the one I want, Nancy. You're the one who makes our family complete."

“You wouldn’t have come back if you thought it was working,” I say. I don’t mean to sound bitter, but I can’t help it.

Drew shakes his head once more and moves another step closer, but he doesn’t close the gap, nor does he try to touch me.

“No, Nancy. I’m so sorry that I ever made you feel that way, but I promise it has always been you. My efforts with Karen were my attempt at giving the children what I thought they wanted.”

He looks down at his hands, defeated. “I thought if I could give her a chance with the kids, they would be happier and complete, but I was only deluding myself into thinking I knew what was best for them.”

He laughs, the sound devoid of all humor. “Turns out they knew better than I did. They knew what and who they wanted in their lives, and it wasn’t Karen. It’s you. For them…and for me. It’s always been you and it will only ever be you.”

Drew reaches to take my hand but stops himself at the last second, letting his outstretched hand fall back to his side.

I shake away the dejection and pity I feel. I cannot allow myself to be weak. Not yet, at least. “I was excited to go on that date with you, but you didn’t care to even explain anything to me. You never even tried to come after me all this time.”

“I’m so sorry, Nancy. I should have known better than to think you would be fine with everything without having any questions. I regret not taking you on that date.”

He looks at Carlos and Nathan who stand to the side, watching us silently.

“I was looking forward to going on the date with you and spending some time alone. I mean, I enjoy being with the guys, but I wanted to have a moment where it was just the two of us. I hadn’t been that excited in a long time.”

“I had it all planned,” he says, his eyes boring into mine. “I was going to confess my love to you and tell you that you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me since the kids. But how could I go confess my love for you and tell you that you mean the world to me when Karen had just shown up out of the blue? I was lost and didn’t know what to do, but I’m not confused now. I know what I want, and it is you. No one else but you.”

His words are spoken with conviction and I want to believe him so badly, but fear holds me back. "And what about Carlos and Nathan? This arrangement we had...it was complicated, Drew. Are you sure you can handle that?"

To my surprise, he laughs softly. "Nancy, I don't care how complicated it is. I just want to be with you. All of you," he adds, glancing at Carlos and Nathan. "You're all my family. I was an idiot to think I needed anything else."

His words break something open inside me, and suddenly I'm crying. Drew is there in an instant, his strong arms wrapping around me. I bury my face in his chest, breathing in his familiar scent.

"I'm so sorry," he murmurs into my hair. "Can you ever forgive me?"

I pull back slightly, looking up into his warm brown eyes. "I love you too, Drew," I whisper. "But there's something you need to know."

Concern flashes across his face. "What is it? Whatever it is, we'll face it together."

Taking a deep breath, I step back and smooth my shirt over my belly, emphasizing the curve there. "I'm pregnant, Drew."

His eyes widen in shock, darting between my face and my stomach. "Pregnant?" he whispers. "How...when...?"

"I’m about four months along," I say softly. "I found out after...after I left."

Drew's face cycles through a range of emotions—surprise, joy, confusion, and finally, guilt. "Oh, Nancy," he breathes. "I'm so sorry. I should have been here. I should have..."

I place a finger on his lips, silencing him. "It's okay. Carlos and Nathan have been taking care of me."

Drew glances at his brother and best friend, gratitude and betrayal evident in his eyes.

“You knew all along, and you didn’t tell me,” he accuses, glaring at them.

The guys glare back at him, not backing down.

“With the decisions you chose to take at the time, did you think it would have been a good idea to tell you, or that it was better for you to come to the realization that you want to be with her, not because she’s carrying your baby, but because you love her?” Nathan’s voice is rigid as he continues to fix him with a glare.

Carlos is calmer. “We didn’t want to put you in a tough position where you felt like you needed to choose between Nancy and Karen. You needed to make the decision for yourself without any external influence.”

He’s still frowning, but he nods. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I should’ve been with you when you found out, and every day since then.”

I smile, relieved. “You’re here now. That’s what matters.”

I know that it will eat at him for a little bit, but he has accepted what happened as something that could not be helped.

He looks at me, his gaze intense. "And the baby...is it...?"

I shake my head. "We don't know. It could be any of you. But does it matter?"

He doesn't hesitate. "No," he says firmly. "It doesn't matter at all. This baby is ours. All of ours."

Relief washes over me, and I find myself smiling through my tears. Drew cups my face in his hands, thumbs gently wiping away the moisture on my cheeks.

"I love you," he says again. "You and this baby. And I swear, I'm never leaving again."

This time when he kisses me, I let myself melt into it. All the longing, the hurt, the love—it all pours out as our lips meet. When we finally break apart, we're both breathless.

"I've missed you so much," I whisper.

Drew presses his forehead to mine. "I've missed you too. More than I can say."

A throat clearing behind us reminds me that we're not alone. I turn to see Carlos and Nathan watching us, small smiles on their faces.

"Welcome back, brother," Nathan says, clapping Drew on the shoulder.

Carlos nods. "Took you long enough to come to your senses."

Drew laughs, the sound warming me from the inside out. "Yeah, well, better late than never, right?"

"So," Drew says, his hand finding mine and squeezing gently. "What happens now?" He has that look on his face, that stubborn persistence even when he’s confused or clueless.

I smile up at him, shifting with some effort and stretching my joints. "Now, you help me take a bath. I'm all sweaty and gross."

He chuckles. "I think we can manage that."

As Drew leads me to the bathroom, I catch Carlos and Nathan exchanging a look. "We'll, uh, give you two some privacy," Nathan says.

But I shake my head. "No, stay. Please? I want all of you here."

They hesitate for a moment before nodding and following us.

In the bathroom, Drew starts the shower while Carlos and Nathan help me undress. It should feel awkward, but it doesn't. This is us—taking care of each other, loving each other.

For a moment, Drew does nothing but stare at me. It’s the first time he’s seen the bulge of my belly without any clothes. His eyes are reverent, and soon, his touch follows in the same manner.

He runs his hand over my belly, stopping at the spot underneath my navel as he begins to slowly trace down to my mound. He pulls his hand back, moving up and looks at me with the softest eyes full of warmth and appreciation.

“Thank you for letting me be a part of this,” he says just as softly.

I swallow the lump in my throat. I’m glad he doesn’t have to miss out on any more of this period of my life.

As the warm water cascades over me, I let out a contented sigh. Drew's strong hands massage shampoo into my hair, while Carlos gently washes my swollen feet. Nathan stands nearby, ready with a fluffy towel.

"This feels amazing," I murmur, leaning back against Drew's chest.

He kisses my temple. "You're amazing. I can't believe I almost threw this away."

I turn in his arms, facing him. "But you came back. That's what matters."

Our lips meet again, and this time, the kiss is heated. I feel Drew's hands roaming over my wet skin, and a familiar desire sparks within me.

"Is this...safe?" Drew asks, breaking the kiss to glance down at my belly.

I nod. "The doctor said it's fine. As long as we're careful."

That's all the encouragement Drew needs. He’s tenting in his pants as he anticipates what is to come.

They finish giving me a bath and rinse me off, their touches lingering just a bit longer than necessary each time, sending bolts of lust across my skin to pool in my belly. Drew lifts me out of the bath, and Nathan drapes me in the towel, drying my skin lovingly.

Maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, but I am so horny, it’s crazy.

They take me to the bedroom, where Drew places me gently on the bed. He follows me, hovering over me as he gazes at me lovingly. His eyes roam over my body, and I see the shift in his gaze, as it turns from loving to hungry. It’s enough to send heat pooling between my thighs.

“This view never gets old…” he mutters.

My skin heats up as he trails his fingers in a single line from behind my ears, slowly down to my collarbone and to the swell of my breasts. Goosebumps follow in its wake.

A strangled moan escapes my parted lips as another hand gently massages my thighs, heating me up even more. The hand streaks upward, and my body recognizes it to be Nathan’s from the firm but gentle way he grips my inner thigh before grazing my mound.

I arch my back, unable to contain my excitement as warm lips circle around my stiff and sensitive nipple, taking my attention from Nathan to Drew at my chest as he alternates between gentle licks, soft nibbles, and sucking.

I grab fistfuls of Drew’s hair, holding him to my breast, and roll my waist in time with Nathan’s thumb slowly circling my clit.

My eyes open in slits, and I glance at Carlos, who stands by the edge of the bed, stroking his cock as he watches me. His eyes never stray from my face, studying my expression intently.

For some reason, that turns me on even more, having him watching every micro-expression I make. I bite my bottom lip, feeding from the intensity of his gaze and putting on a show for him.

“Fuck, querida, you’re something special,” Carlos grinds out through gritted teeth, his fist wrapping tighter around his cock as he increases his pace. He bends over and kisses me, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth in a stinging kiss that sends me reeling.

I gasp into his mouth as Nathan’s warm tongue laps my clit, and Drew sucks on one nipple while teasing the other with his fingers. The pleasure builds quickly, and I can almost see stars.

I reach out and wrap a hand around Carlos’s cock, stealing his breath as he hisses against my lips from my touch.

“Fuck, querida, you’re going to be the death of me.”

I grin against his lips, although the expression melts away in an instant as Nathan slurps at my pussy, eating me out with so much passion and zeal, my hips rock up at an angle of their own volition.

“Ahh!” I cry out, tilting my head into the pillow from the pleasure wracking me. Holding my hips down with one hand, he slips a finger into my heat, expertly working it against the top of my pussy.

My back arches again, this time from above the waist since Nathan has pinned my hips down. My breasts press further into Drew’s mouth as I come to an almost seated position, and he laps me up encouragingly. My body quivers from the wild sensations running through me. Pressure tightens at my core, building in massive torrents. Just like that, it explodes, and I’m screaming incoherently, bright lights flashing in front of my eyes from the intensity of the orgasm.

When my orgasm subsides, it’s Drew between my legs now, his hard member poking my entrance while Nathan and Carlos kneel on either side of me on the bed, dicks in my face.

I immediately grab their cocks, hungrily lapping at each one as they moan and take to teasing my nipples. Drew watches all of this, beginning a lazy, circular stroke as he presses into me.

With a cry of pleasure muffled by the cocks pressed against my lips, I welcome him into my heat, spreading my legs apart to accommodate his body. Drew tenses, teeth gritting as he relaxes into my warmth.

"God, I've missed you," Drew murmurs against my lips. "Missed this."

I can only nod in response, too overwhelmed by sensation to form words. As we move together, I'm acutely aware of Carlos and Nathan watching us. Far from feeling self-conscious, their presence only heightens my arousal, and I suck on them and pump my hands with gusto while Drew begins a slow and maddening pace as he fucks me.

Our lovemaking is tender, mindful of my condition. I can tell Drew is being careful as he is hovering on his hands, not even letting his body touch my belly as he fucks me. Carlos and Nathan also pull back their hips whenever I try to deepthroat them, not letting me go too far even as their breathing gets faster from my ministrations.

God, I love these men…I love these men so much…

My heart is filled with so much love even as I scream, “I’m coming!”

Carlos and Nathan pull back from me as Drew leans over me, his hand over my clit quickening. "That's it, baby," he encourages, his voice husky. "Let go for me."

I feel the familiar tension building, coiling tighter and tighter until finally, it snaps. I come with a cry of Drew's name, my body shuddering in his arms. He follows soon after, burying his face in my neck as he finds his release.

As we catch our breath, still intimately connected, I feel other hands on me—Carlos and Nathan, touching me reverently, lovingly. Drew doesn't pull away or protest. Instead, he watches with dark eyes as Nathan kisses me deeply, his tongue exploring my mouth as his hands caress my breasts.

When Nathan pulls back, Carlos is there, his kiss more demanding, passionate. I moan into his mouth as I feel Drew finally slip out of me, only to be replaced by Carlos's fingers, stroking and teasing.

"My turn," Carlos growls, and suddenly I'm being filled again. He enters me in one smooth thrust, and I gasp at the fullness.

Drew and Nathan watch hungrily as Carlos takes me. Nathan's hand finds its way between my legs, adding to the overwhelming sensations.

Carlos rolls us over and pulls me atop him, and I go willingly, straddling him. He sits me on his cock and gently guides my hips until we develop a steady rhythm. Soon, my hips move of their own volition, rolling and whining on him.

He holds my hips in his hand and pushes into me, slowly, and then faster, making my eyes roll back in my head.

My breasts bounce with each movement, and Nathan grabs them, squeezing as the pleasure begins to build in me once again. This time, it builds quicker than the last because I have already come twice.

It doesn't take long before I'm coming again, Carlos's name on my lips this time. He lets go as well, his grip on my hips tightening as he reaches his peak.

He pulls out of me and slides away from beneath me, leaving me kneeling on the bed and giving Nathan, who immediately supports me from behind, access. Nathan grins as he peppers kisses on the sensitive spots behind my ear and neck.

He slides into me from behind, and I gasp at how different it feels being taken in that position. His cock moves inside me painfully slowly, grazing the roof of my pussy. His slow and steady take draws out the pleasure with each push until I’m a hot and quivering mess.

My legs shake wildly as continues his intentional movement until my orgasm rips through me like a tidal wave. I push my back flush against his chest, and he presses a kiss to my cheek as I come, releasing with a guttural moan.

Exhausted, I stay limp as Nathan moves me to lay my head against the pillow, and I close my eyes, my body aching in all the right places and yet relaxed and fluid. I feel Nathan wiping me down a few seconds later. I hear them moving around as they clean up.

I feel the bed dip beside me and I open my eyes to see Drew watching me with a mix of wonder and love in his eyes.

"What?" I ask softly.

He shakes his head, a smile playing on his lips. "Nothing. I just...I can't believe how lucky I am. How lucky we all are."

I reach out and take his hand, pulling him close. "We are lucky," I agree. "But we also choose this. We choose each other, every day."

Drew nods, pressing a kiss to my forehead. "And I'll keep choosing you—all of you—for the rest of my life."

I feel a sense of peace settle over me. This journey hasn't been easy, and I know we still have challenges ahead. But looking at the three men surrounding me—Drew with his quiet strength, Nathan with his gentle kindness, and Carlos with his unwavering loyalty—I know we can face anything together.

My hand drifts to my stomach, where our child grows. Boy or girl, it doesn't matter. This baby will be loved beyond measure, with four parents to guide and protect them.

As they settle into bed, I find myself in the middle, surrounded by warmth and love. Drew's hand rests protectively on my belly, while Nathan's fingers intertwine with mine. Carlos presses a soft kiss to my shoulder before settling in at my feet.

"I love you," I whisper into the darkness. "All of you."

Three voices respond in unison. "We love you too."

And as I drift off to sleep, I drift off knowing that this is exactly where I'm meant to be.
